I call my pops. I just say, getting on a plane, pal, it feels like, i dont know, it just dont feel right. This plane is really small. Reporter barker and his close friend dj am are leaving a South Carolina gig with two pals on a lastsecond private jet. We go to takeoff and you just hear like really it sounds like someone is shooting at the plane and the plane spirals out of control. It just starts skidding on the runway. Smoke starts coming through, you know, the entire plane. And then we take off. And im screaming at this point. For me, at this point its like my biggest fear in the world is coming true. Reporter the bomb ba deer lear jet smashes into the side of an embankment after crossing a fivelane highway. And the plane is on fire. And my hands are on fire. So i unbuckle my seat belt.

I strop, drop and roll for a long time. Reporter the plane explodes. His friend and two pilots left inside are dead.

Tonight lear jet manufacturer bombardie telling us safety is their priority adding that their aircraft meet the stringent quality and Safety Standards of authorities. While still infrequent private plane crash rest far more likely than those on commercial air crash. Just this weekend a couple surviving this fiery crash near a texas airport. It was so fast. So fast. Just happened too quick. Reporter as for Travis Barker he grappled with survivors guilt for years and his physical recovery was a long one. I stayed in burn centers for like the next four months. Reporter severely burned. Over 65 of his body. That, i mean, that feels like hell. Youre put in a big metal pan and youre scrubbed with a metal brush to get rid of infection. And theres no painkillers that are going to mask that. Reporter he underwent 27 surgeries. Did you want to kill yourself at any point . Yes, in the hospital when they couldnt get my pain meds right, when i was waking up in surgeries, when, you know, my medication wasnt right, i would call friends of mine and go, yall, ill deposit a Million Dollars into whoevers bank account. Im done. You were willing to pay someone a Million Dollars to take you out . Oh, yeah. They had to take my phone out of my room because i was making these phone calls. Reporter what pulls him out, he says, were visits from his children. Alabama and landon. It was just hard for them to see me in the state that i was in. They could collar in class and everyone is drawing pictures of their family or what they did on the weekend and landon is drawing a picture of a plane crashing. So, yeah. Its not right, is it .

Unfortunately, and it wasnt i didnt really take it seriously. We get off stage and he, you know, were hanging out and he said, man, travis, sometimes i just feel like doing a bunch of drugs and saying [ bleep ] it.

From super size meals to mega mansions here in america were often told that more is more. Well, the movers and shakers who star in the next piece respectfully disagree. Theyre shaking things up by moving into teeny tiny homes. Saying theres a million reasons why you could and perhaps should get onboard. Hey, im andrew. Im angela. This is our bus. Reporter Home Sweet Home usually doesnt come with four wheels and an oversized steering wheel. The drivers seat sometimes serves as extra seating. Reporter but for julie and Andrew Puckett a school bus was the perfect solution to their housing woes. We just didnt see a point in working 60 hours for something which at the end of the day we were never going to own. Reporter after the atlantas couples landlord raised their rent by over 25 they bought the blue bird bus for 10,000 bucks. Its not very big. Yet i can literally just show it all in one shot. Reporter four months and just another thousand bucks later, julie and andrew turned it into a functional 200 square foot mobile home. Plenty of extra storage. I also have handy slideout things. Reporter customized furniture. The lid flips up. Reporter and even a wood burning stove. I think its ready to heat somewhere over a thousand square feet. Reporter they say theres enough room for everyone, even their dog, star buck. Thanks for taking the tour. Reporter its not just the pucketts downsizing. Tiny houses are having a major moment. These pintsize dwellings are the big stars of popular tv shows like tiny house hunters and tiny house nation. But the people who are now calling them home say these tiny houses are more than a trend, theyre a movement. An updated version of the American Dream where less is more. Dreaming big in the past was being able to get a good house and then a better house. I think what people are discovering is that those things dont necessarily bring you closer faster to who you want to be. This is the palatial 84 square foot tiny house. Reporter dee williams home is only 84 square feet. From wall to wall its 610. Reporter to put that in perspective the average American Home is 2600 square feet, more than 30 times as big. The sleeping loft is a four foot ceiling up here. I measured myself in order to figure out, you know, how tall to make it. Reporter dees place is not without its draw backs. One thing you may notice is missing is the faut set. I dont have running water. Reporter its not the plumbing that drew her in, its the lifestyle. A lot of people are discovering that what they have is really what they need. Reporter but tiny houses arent just for the suburbs. In urban areas soaring populations and rising rents are making microapartments an increasingly appealing option. New Construction Projects in cities across the country are using modular designs to house the maximum amount of residents. Hi. How is it going . Good. Welcome. Reporter sounds a little squished, but for 20 somethings like mary ellen rowel, living big is about having less and doing more. Compared to most of my friends i have a thousand dollars or more extra every month that i can spend on going out. All right. So this is basically a quarter of the apartment. Reporter at just under 6 feet our producer chris james just barely fits into this new york city microabode which is about half the size of a average parking space. Inspiring rowel to get creative. This chair and table set, it all folds and i can hang it all right here on the wall. A friend actually helped me build this bed. Its basically a platform with two drawers underneath that roll out for extra storage. Theyre pretty big. Also pretty messy. Wow. Reporter she does have all the necessities. A mini kitchen. I have a mini fridge. I have a mini sink. I have a toaster oven. I see everything but the bathroom. Where is the bathroom . Reporter a bathroom, its shared. So this is the bathroom that i dont spend a lot of time in there. Reporter but the biggest sacrifice for this fashionista is no closet. One of the first things i decided when i moved in is to do my closet as faceouts instead of a rail. Reporter rowel says her living situation has forced her to cut back on clutter and focus on what really malters to her. You know, you can get by with a lot less. And my life functions as a normal persons life in this tiny apartment. Reporter but that may be a challenge for gloria. Im living in a house where there were five bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms. Reporter shes moving out of her parents house and into her own microapartment in rhode island. Do you think all of my stuff is going to fit . No. No, really . That was a pretty quick answer, nick. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Its not that small as i pictured it now that its empty. I think pretty much the bedroom over here was the size of my walkin closet before. So i kind of want to say that its good to be fine, that ill definitely fit my stuff but now im nervous about it. Reporter the unpacking begins. Whats this for . Shes got so many like thats for the selfie stick. Do not lose that. Reporter eventually gloria finds a place for just about everything. I definitely think that its coming together. Reporter she gets to go out and enjoy the quality of life so many people are gaining just by cutting back. I dont need the couch and the big screen. I would rather have this. Time to call the movers. For more tiny apartment tours check out our Youtube Channel times two. Welcome to 2015 through marty mcflys eyes.

Fully tricked out converted deloreans on a side road off a highway in a dallas suburb made to look like the time traveling vehicles that were used in the films. This thing is a hobby that turned into a ccrazy business. Reporter turning these vintage deloreans, short lived brand in the early 80s of into socalled time machines is the brain child of bob moseley, former restaurant owner, who as a fan himself, bout a delorean. The thing about it is if you own a delorean youre going to have to deal with back to the future references. Everywhere i went, they would say, hey, mcfly. Because i had a engineering background. I put it in the car and the reaction of people seeing it was so great i started adding on to the car where you end up here. Reporter el issing the cars for up to 100,000 each, including century celebrity custers like tony parker. Picking unone this time is a ceo of a telephone and Cable Provider in iowa. Well, its the iconic year, right, iconic movie vehicle. Reporter every wire in the car is exactly like it was in the films. When a part is too expensive like this turbine from a jet, moseley shop makes a mold and fabricates it. Other parts like this clock, he springs for. This is the same exact bulova alarm clock he used in 1955 made in west germany, by the way. That shows how old it is. Reporter of course when the car hits 88 Miles Per Hour, required speed to travel in time according to the movies, its being rereleased today 88 Miles Per Hour reporter moseley has it rigged with all the bells and whistles.
